In the middle of the platform, there stands an ancient castle, all made of stone, unlike the Middle Earth building, but a bit of the style of the Western Regions. Su Zhuo, www.biquge.info of the pen and fun pavilion, knew that since the Tang Dynasty, caravans from the Western Regions often came to the Central Plains, and naturally brought the architectural style with them. Especially in this northwestern region, which is more deeply influenced by the Western Regions, it is not strange that there are such buildings.

Although this stone fort has been eroded by wind and rain for many years, it is still well preserved, it can be seen how strong it was back then, no wonder the legend that the Central Plains righteous faction has encircled and suppressed the Tianshan faction many times, but has not been able to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it seems that it has a lot to do with this stone fort of the general altar.

Su Zhuo was thinking nonsense, and the people under the mountain had already climbed up one by one along the rope. As soon as Mu Zixuan stood on the ground, he saw Su Zhuo's angry eyes. However, he knew that Su Zhuo didn't dare to make a move with him, and he seemed to be fearless. Hundreds of people spent half a day working and went up the mountain one after another. Wei Xiu and Zhou Qinglian went up the mountain in the back, what Su Zhuo didn't expect was that Zhou Qinglian was actually carrying Wei Xiu on her back, and she seemed to be lightweight, like a leisurely stroll, and the atmosphere was not breathing.

Su Zhuo couldn't help but be a little curious about the true identity of this mysterious person. And Wei Xiu didn't want others to carry it, but he believed Zhou Qinglian and seemed to have guessed something. Su Zhuo's heart was racing, and he kept thinking.

Teng Gui looked at the stone castle and laughed: "Not bad, this is the Holy Sect Altar!"

Everyone cheered, although they were born at the wrong time, they failed to catch up with the Tianshan faction when they were in power. But when they saw the main altar, it seemed that they could also enjoy the scenery. Teng Gui couldn't wait for a moment, and when he rushed to the ancient castle, he saw two huge stone doors dozens of feet high, tightly closed. He reached out and pushed the stone door, trying to open it. But the stone gate did not move.

Teng Gui called a few more powerful people to push the door together. In the end, a hundred and ten people went into battle together, and the stone gate did not open a single crack. Su Zhuo sneered and shook his head, these two stone doors seem to weigh thousands of catties, how can these hundred and ten people push them?

Mu Zixuan caught a glimpse of Su Zhuo's calm expression, rolled his eyes, and said, "Master Su has a bamboo in his chest, he must have already thought of a way to open this stone door?"

Su Zhuo scolded secretly in his heart, but his face remained silent. Teng Gui said in a deep voice: "Su Zhuo, quickly find a way to open the door for me!"

Su Zhuo was helpless, he didn't expect that the three of them were tied up by them, and they became their helpers. However, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and there is nothing to be done. Su Zhuo had to fold his arms and think hard about how to do it. This stone door weighs a thousand pounds, and there is definitely a mechanism, so it is possible to open it, but where is this mechanism? Everyone has already touched the wall several times, but they have not found any mechanism, how to open the door?

"Su clumsy boy, think about it carefully. This door can't stop you!" I don't know when, Zhou Qinglian stood behind Su Zhuo with a faint smile on her face.

Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, slightly distracted, and said, "There must be some mechanism for this door, but where is this mechanism?"

Zhou Qinglian was noncommittal, and seemed to be deliberately taking the school exam. In Su Clumsy's temperament, the momentum of not admitting defeat also rose, frowning, pondering in his mind, but his eyes kept looking around. I saw a few stone bricks scattered on the ground next to the stone gate. Su Zhuo paid attention slightly, and saw that the size and shape of these stone bricks were actually about the same. It made him a little strange.

Su Zhuo picked up a stone brick, only to see that there were several finger-thick holes on one side of the stone brick. He picked up another one and compared them with each other, and saw that the two stone bricks were almost identical except for the number of holes. Could it be that the problem is with these stone bricks?

Su Zhuo placed the stone bricks one by one, and the side of the hole was upward. I saw that there were nine stone bricks, and the number of holes on them was also arranged in order from one to nine. He seemed to realize something, and looked up at the stone door. I saw that although the surface of the stone gate had been eroded by wind and rain, it was basically intact. Only in the middle, there are a few broken pieces. And around these places, there are several seals carved horizontally and vertically, forming several square frames.

Su Zhuo took a few steps back and looked from afar. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted, "I understand!"

Zhou Qinglian nodded slightly. The others looked at him with some surprise, and Wei Xiu asked with interest, "Tell me quickly, how can I open this door?"

Su Zhuo said: "The mechanism is on the box on the door and on these stone bricks on the ground. In fact, these stone bricks are not peeling stones from the door, but the Nine Palaces diagram in the Hetuluo book!"

"Nine Palace Diagram?" many people heard the name for the first time. And Wei Xiu, who was as smart as that, instantly understood, and said loudly: "I see! The few notches on the door drew nine frames. And these stone bricks on the ground are exactly the numbers from one to nine. Just fill in the numbers in the box to crack the mechanism and open the stone door!"

"But how do you put this in?"

Su Zhuo smiled faintly: "The Nine Palace Diagram has a fixed rule, two or four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, three on the left and seven on the right, wearing nine shoes and one, and five in the center." These nine numbers, whether horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, add up to fifteen. I think that as long as you put the stone bricks in the corresponding position according to this method, you can open the stone door!"

"Is it really that amazing?" many people did not believe. There are also people who count with their fingers to see if it is as Su Zhuo said. Teng Gui was impatient, and put the stone bricks into the corresponding positions one by one in a few vertical leaps. Sure enough, there was a dull sound, and a gap slowly opened between the two stone doors.

Two heavy stone doors slowly opened, revealing the slightly gloomy interior of the stone castle. The sun shines in, and you can see the dust rising up. Teng Gui and the others couldn't wait, and without waiting for the door to open completely, they went in sideways. Su Zhuowu sighed to himself: "The mechanism of this stone gate is very exquisite, it must not be from the hands of mortals!"

"It's nature. Zhou Qinglian said softly, "According to legend, all the mechanisms of this ancient castle are from the hands of Lu Cheng, the world's first craftsman. This stone gate is just the beginning, and it is really difficult to enter the castle!"

Su Zhuo looked back at him suspiciously, Zhou Qinglian's words were extremely straightforward, and he had almost told Su Zhuo that he had been here before, and he seemed to know this ancient castle well. Who the hell is he?

Wei Xiu didn't think too much about it, looked at the deep castle with interest, and said, "With Master Su here, what kind of mechanism can be difficult to stop us?"

As he was talking, he heard the people who had entered the castle shouting, "There is no road ahead!"

Su Zhuo and the others hurriedly followed up to take a look, and it turned out that behind the stone gate was a dark corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a wide rotunda. The hall is made entirely of boulders, with only a few windows in the dome that let in light. There are no doors or windows on the walls at all, and there is no other way out. Everyone stood in the hall, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

Mu Zixuan pondered, he knew that this place must be another mechanism, but he couldn't figure out where the mechanism was. Su Zhuo knew that in the end, Teng Gui and the others would definitely repeat their old tricks and use Wei Xiu to force themselves to find an organ. Rather than that, it's better to do it yourself. He saw many bronze skull lampstands on the walls of the corridors and halls. As the years passed, many of the skeletons had fallen to the ground, and the fire oil contained in them had naturally dried up. (To be continued.) )
